On the Plains of San Agustin
An unexplored frontier
Back in the early 1990s, I drove through the high desert Plains of San Agustin in New Mexico, completely unaware of what I would see. Shimmering in the distance, the remote windswept plains just north of the Gila Wilderness appeared otherworldly as I passed enormous satellite-like dishes pointed at various angles toward the sky. After miles of dry, dusty roads, it was hard to imagine that the plains were once submerged under 250 feet of water from an ancient ice-age lake. Millions of years have transformed this desolate place where desert grasslands meet mountains and mesas, and all the reference points have changed.
Decades later, after my husband and I opened StarPony Electronics, a Radio Shack franchise store, I learned that the National Radio Astronomy Observatory operated those dishes. Their massive antennas comprise the hardest-working telescope in the world and are part of what is known as the Very Large Array (VLA). To me, they looked like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. In fact, they gained fame in 1997 when they appeared in the film “Contact,” starring Jodie Foster and based on the 1985 novel and screenplay by Carl Sagan, which involved radio telescopes.
For as long as I can remember, I have looked up at the stars and wondered where I came from. Being adopted may have contributed to a powerful longing for understanding my ancestral lineage and on a cosmic level. Visiting the VLA with my husband for the first time this past month sparked even more questions.
The first thing I noticed upon our arrival was the request to turn off all electronic devices capable of broadcasting radio frequencies, as their use is strictly prohibited. Consequently, we switched our cell phones to airplane mode for the duration of our visit. Fortunately, digital cameras were allowed. Airplane mode disables Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular data, preventing these devices from transmitting radio signals. Even low-emission devices can interfere with the VLA’s ability to detect faint radio signals from distant astronomical objects in faraway galaxies. This interference made me wonder: if cell phones and personal electronic devices can disrupt the radio telescope’s capacity to listen to the universe, what effect are they having on us? Are our abilities to receive transmissions from higher realms also being diminished?
The VLA is a powerful telescope tuned to detect invisible light in the form of radio waves. All objects, including humans, emit electromagnetic radiation, which includes radio waves. Quartz crystals, used to keep track of time and to transmit and receive radio signals, can create a resonance and emit an electrical signal, just like the human body. Crystals can be programmed to vibrate at specific frequencies, aligning us to those frequencies.
We are sensory beings just beginning to understand the phenomena of resonant fields and how our thoughts can influence the world around us through sympathetic resonance. Electromagnetic pollution dulls our senses and diminishes our ability to receive and interpret information from our environment. It raises an important question: what happens when we can no longer receive transmissions from the Star Beings, which are part of our internal navigation system? Could this leave us more vulnerable to propaganda that is broadcast into our energy field and to external programming?
What genuinely concerns me is the situation of children raised in a world that has normalized Autism, dismisses chemtrails (geoengineering) as a conspiracy theory, and allows electronic devices to program minds and distract us from meaningful connections and interactions. Yet, as with every generation, the reference points have once again changed.
Over the next few years, the number of broadband satellites is projected to increase significantly, from approximately 2,000 to 20,000. This growth will lead to a greater exposure of the Earth to extremely high frequencies. As electronic or “artificial” intelligence, which relies on these satellites, becomes more integrated into our daily lives, it raises important concerns. NOAA scientists have detected aluminum and other exotic metals, such as titanium, chromium, and lithium, in the stratosphere, resulting from vaporized rockets and satellites reentering Earth’s atmosphere. This discovery links stratospheric pollution to aerospace debris, which could potentially affect the ozone layer. The practice of mining these metals from the Earth and launching them into space is unsustainable. Scientists are also investigating the implications of seeding the stratosphere with millions of tons of sulfur aerosols as a geoengineering approach to slow the rate of global warming by reflecting sunlight back into space.
What will happen when we can no longer receive full-spectrum light from our sun or the billions of other stars in our galaxy? Or from the approximately 200 sextillion stars in the observable universe? Growing up under the subtropical sun in Southern Florida, I led an adventurous outdoor lifestyle, swimming, biking, and riding horses without the need for sunglasses or sunscreen. The light, encoded with information, filled my eyes, bathed my body and nourished my mitochondria on a cellular level, serving as a substrate for cellular memory and part of our inner navigation system. This mitochondrial motherline reconnects us to our ancestors, including those who may have come from the stars, allowing us to remember our origins.
While visiting the Very Large Array, I perceived it as a masculine extension of ourselves. It requires that kind of energy and thrust to launch rockets into space or to create technology like the VLA, which is based on physicist Karl G. Jansky’s 1933 discovery of radio waves emanating from the Milky Way. The masculine energy seeks expansion and projection, while the feminine energy seeks contraction and receptivity. The former acquires knowledge of the outer world through exploration, while the latter gathers intuitive knowledge through receptivity. We all originate from a mother and a father and carry both masculine and feminine energies within us.
By harmonizing these energies, we can deepen our understanding of our place in the cosmos. The masculine energy rises, projects, and penetrates, whereas the feminine energy descends, reflects, and receives. A problem arises, however, when the dominant masculine energy unsustainably extracts rare minerals from the Earth Mother’s body and projects them into technology meant to uncover what already exists within us as an internal technology. Our internal landscape still holds many mysteries, and leaves much to discover as we explore our divine origins. We stand at the edge of an unexplored frontier. It is time to look within.
We have penetrated the wildest places and climbed the highest peaks, but we have yet to seek the life within the form or to scale the heights of our own consciousness.
